This Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti gown combines a charcoal tweed bodice with a
vivid blue, diagonally pleated skirt. Black sheer silk at the neckline and back 
contrasts with the textured front panel, while narrow silver leather accents frame
the straps and high waist. The long, spare silhouette gives the different surfaces
room to stand out.

## A Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti gown with contrasting textures

The raised waist leads into a full-length blue skirt, with diagonal folds creating
a chevron-like effect down the front. Above it, the charcoal panel gives structure
to the bust. The sheer black upper edge continues into a low back, so the dress 
looks different from each angle.

 * Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti maxi gown
 * Blue pleated skirt with a charcoal tweed bodice

 * Silver leather accents at the straps and high waist
 * Sleeveless silhouette with a full-length skirt
 * Estimated modern US size 2/4

## Fit and coverage

The estimated fit is a modern US 2/4. Jackie is 5 ft 7 in and usually wears US 0/
2; the hem reaches the floor with the shoes shown. The model photograph does not
establish the dress length for every wearer or heel height.

The back and neckline are sheer. Consider that coverage when choosing undergarments,
and [ask Quirk for bust, high-waist and shoulder-to-hem measurements](https://shopquirkla.com/contact-us/)
before ordering if needed. Fiber percentages, label photographs and a complete measurement
chart are not currently included in this listing.

## Wear it with the photographed gloves

Jackie wears the gown with Quirk’s [Interstellar opera gloves](https://shopquirkla.com/product/interstellar-opera-gloves/),
whose satellite-image print picks up the blue and black tones. The gloves are sold
separately. For a quieter combination, keep accessories small and let the pleats
and metallic trim be the focus.

## Condition

This is a previously owned garment. Review the front, side and back photographs,
and request a close-up if you need to inspect the sheer panels, trim or fastening
in detail. Follow the garment’s care label; the mixed materials need more consideration
than a plain fabric dress.
